the purse of a princess. Your abode may
be humble, but you can, by your faith in
God and your cheerfullness of demeanor,
gild 1t with Splendors such as an upholsterer's
hand never yet kindled. There are abodes
i'll the city-humble, two stories; four plain
unpapered rooms; undesirable neighbor-
hood; and yet there is man here this morn

than surrender it. Why! 1t is home.
Whenever he thinks of it he sees angels of
God hovering around it. The ladders of
heaven are let down to that house. Over
the chld'S rough crib there are
the chantings of angels as those that broke
over Bethlehem. 1t is home. These chill
dren may came up after awhile, and they
may win high position, and they may have
an atiiuent residence; but they will not until
their dying day forget that humble roof,
under which thoir father rested, and their
mother sang, and their sisters played. o, il

all the lights and shades of the heart, all
banquetingS and reunions, all filial, fra
ternal paternal, and conjugal affections,
and you had only just four letters with
which to spell out that height and depth,
and length, and breadth, and magnitude,
and eternity of meaning, you would, with
streaming eyes, and trembling voice, and
agitated hand. write it out in those four liv-
ing capitals, HOME.
What right does woman want that is
grander than to be queen in such realm9
Why, the eagles of heaven cannot fly across
that dominion. Horses, painting and with
lathered flanks, are not swift enough to run
to the outpost of that realm. They say that
the sun never sets upon the English empire;
but have to tell you that on this realm of
